About Me

Name:
Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Mission Delayed....

The Devil is in the Details...scurrying to pack and lift-off and Cuz Donna called and said Denver was in the midst of a storm and the roads and highways were slick. She had to use her 4WD Blazer to take a friend to work. She knows how much I hate Denver traffic on a good day, so as that leg of the visit was my only deadline- we scrubbed the mission and took a more leisurely approach to getting ready to blast off...tomorrow. I have been using a very useful website Weather.com which has an Interstate weather guide. I had been thinking a day delay woul allow me to follow behind a major storm instead of in it. I will have to hurry a little in the middle of my trip. As it was 16 degrees here this morning, I am motivated to get south.

Email came from Marylu Walker, West Virginia friend. They will leave for Weeki Wachee, FL in about a month (see my web album for my last visit with them) They have upgraded their Vans. I hope to connect with them Florida this winter and check out the new wheels and enjoy their company.
